##News-- The Rose Bowl teams (University of Wisconsin and Stanford University) will be visiting DLR on December 26th. There will be a special ceremony at the castle at 2 pm. As a result of this event, the front court of the castle will be closed from about 12:30-3, Main Street Vehicles will stop running at 11:45, and the Horse Drawn Trolleys will not run that day. Hope some of you in the parks are able to get pictures! Go Badgers!
Just to clarify, it's the Stanford Cardinal. There is no S at the end. - Slotherini

And go Stanford! - Slotherini 886.9 #99 9:03PM
Yeah, I didn't think there was an 's' on the end of Cardinal. Doesn't it refer to the color? Please correct me if I'm wrong. The St. Louis baseball team does have an 's' on the end and refers to the bird. - IDVandalSkipperCM 1296.5 #63 9:09PM
Correct. It refers to the color because they changed their name, as used to be known as the Stanford Indians. In the 70's Native American students and those that were around the area felt try were being mocked by the mascot, this ending the Indian mascot and becoming the Stanford Cardinal. - Slotherini 886.9 #99 9:19PM
Thanks for the history lesson! It's pretty interesting how some of these mascots have come about as a result of not so politically correct terms. - IDVandalSkipperCM 1296.5 #63 9:21PM
Lol, says the Idaho Vandal ;) - NotSoDapperDan 303.3 #593 10:00PM
Thanks Sloth. Just edited mine because I noticed it had the 's' at the end. My phone automatically does that because of my NFL team. - KermitFan13 407.6 #321 10:00PM
Haha yeah.... - IDVandalSkipperCM 1296.5 #63 10:17PM
Just to clarify, from 1972 to Nov. 17, 1981, Stanford's official nickname was "Cardinals". I refer to them with an s because during that time my uncle was their quarterback and played in the Rose Bowl. So yes, today there isn't a s, but there was in the past. - MagicalRN 116.4 #2788 10:30AM
I will try and get with the times, but the 70s & 80s were great! - MagicalRN 116.4 #2788 10:34AM
And yet their costumed mascot is a big redwood tree. So weird. - MissMolly 697.1 #141 11:54AM
Just to clarify, the tree freaks me out. - ZeeAlice 468.8 #260 2:02PM
Wait....go Cardinals! :) thanks for the info. - MagicalRN

ASU!! That's my team too :) do you go there!? - GrimGrinningAmanda 318.7 #528 10:20PM
I unfortunately went to UNLV before they increased tuition to the point I couldn't afford attending anymore. A cousin of mine graduated from there in '98 and another that is currently attending. - KermitFan13 407.6 #321 10:35PM
Can't wait to see Wisconsin's marching band "trot" down Main Street - BaseballMickey_CM

I would love a video if anyone gets a chance! I don't know if I'll get to see it in person :( I love watching different marching bands and their styles, especially after being a band geek through college. I miss it! - IDVandalSkipperCM 1296.5 #63 10:39PM
Have you seen their band march during their shows? Its really unique and quite painful on the knees - BaseballMickey_CM 2855.5 #16 10:47PM
Yes! And I have no clue how they can play their instruments! They really have to build up their endurance. There's no way I could do that! - IDVandalSkipperCM 1296.5 #63 10:51PM
BBM - I looked them up on YouTube and they are amazing! It's a wonder they can play their instruments!!!🎶🎺🎶 - Boundin 425.3 #299 11:15PM
Yay for band geeks!!! - JRDrummer_CM 792.7 #119 11:47PM
The student body voted to change the nickname to Robber Barons after the beloved Leland Stanford Sr. but the admin didn't approve. - sr citizen space ranger

The parks will be even more crowded. I see the word "capacity" on the horizon.
Glad I have a pass & can go a different day.
